Dianna Kihs Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 This is my first quilt of the year. The pattern is vintage ladies of the south that I got off and old quilt of a friend. Its hand embroidered and all the fabric for the dresses is from my Grandmothers box of fabric from the 60 and 70. All the ladies have a embroidered necklace with a pearl and they have a lace ruffle at the bottom of the dresses. Did 1" cross hatching in the background.

Pepsi Girl Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 My mom was not a quilter, but I remember a quilt with that same lady or one very similar when I was young. That was some 50+ years ago! You did a great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luz2Quilt Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 The southern belles are lovely and the cross hatch ties in perfectly with the pattern. Love the parasols for the corner stones too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
